FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is described as 'showerproof,' meaning it can handle light rain or brief showers. For heavy or prolonged rainfall, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

What is the UPF rating, and what does it protect against?

The jacket has a 40+ UPF rating, which means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, offering significant protection against sun exposure.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features two side pockets and one front pocket, providing a total of three pockets for storage.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is a softshell construction with a micro polar fleece lining.

Can I wear this jacket in the summer?

While it offers UV protection, the softshell and fleece lining might be too warm for very hot summer conditions. It is best suited for transitional seasons or cooler summer days.

How do I ensure the reflective tape lasts?

To maintain the integrity of the reflective tape, machine wash the jacket in cold water, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.

What types of jobs is this jacket best suited for?

It is ideal for work in environments requiring high visibility, such as construction, airports, road work, security, sanitation, and any outdoor labor where you need to be seen.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents. Gentle washing and air drying will help preserve the reflective tape. If damage is significant, consider replacement.

Jacket is not very warm.

This jacket is designed as a softshell layer offering wind and shower resistance with some warmth from the fleece lining. For colder conditions, layer additional warm clothing underneath.

Fit is too loose or too tight.

Adjust the hook and loop cuffs for a snugger fit around the wrists. Use the drawstrings at the hem to cinch the waist. Ensure you selected the correct size based on measurement guidelines.
